Bush hails capture; U.S. officials say Libyan may know bin Laden's whereabouts

Pakistan's Interior Ministry on Wednesday released this undated photo of Abu Faraj al-Libbi, the alleged al-Qaida commander now under arrest.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - The man thought to be al-Qaida's operations commander, and who might know where Osama bin Laden is hiding, has been arrested in Pakistan, the government announced Wednesday.
